Strategic perspectives on the topics reshaping the market
Strategy View on Regulatory Reporting
Regulatory Reporting as a Strategic Data Agenda
Regulatory Reporting is not only a Compliance obligation. It is a Strategic Data and Operating Model issue. Organizations that prepare for harmonized, reusable and controlled Reporting Data can reduce duplication, strengthen Management Information and avoid repeated remediation cycles. From a Strategy perspective, Reporting Transformation should be addressed as a long-term capability decision, not as a sequence of isolated regulatory projects.
Strategy View on T+1
T+1 as an Operating Model Catalyst
T+1 Settlement is a Post-Trade topic, but its impact is strategic. It forces decisions on Governance, Liquidity, Client Service, Outsourcing, Technology Investment and Operational Ownership. FORFIRM helps leadership teams understand where accelerated timelines affect the Business Model, which capabilities must be strengthened and how to sequence the Readiness Roadmap before the change becomes urgent.
Strategy View on Generative AI
Generative AI as Business Case Discipline
Generative AI should not start from the model. It should start from the Business Case. FORFIRM helps organizations identify where AI can improve Cycle Time, Quality, Control, Knowledge Access and Decision Support. The Strategy question is not how many pilots can be launched, but which workflows can be redesigned in a way that creates measurable value and acceptable risk.
Strategy View on Digital Money
Digital Franc and Digital Euro as Market Infrastructure Scenarios
Digital Money developments require Scenario Planning. Strategy teams must understand which capabilities will matter if Tokenised Settlement, Digital Euro distribution or Wholesale CBDC models become relevant to their sector. FORFIRM helps organizations evaluate potential impacts on Positioning, Partnerships, Operating Models and investment priorities.
